Because of the writers' strike, it's even tougher than usual to compare this Summer's list with the Winter rankings that found Pushing Daisies at the top; that show didn't air a single episode in 2008, so it didn't qualify. But there were still a few interesting changes to note, including the jump of The Office from No. 8 in the Winter to No. 4 now. But 30 Rock came in at No. 3, leapfrogging over The Office for the first time to claim the title of highest-ranked comedy on the list. Three CBS comedies — How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, and The New Adventures of Old Christine — also ranked in the top 25.

On the worst side, The Moment of Truth topped the list, prompting one critic to proclaim, "This is the worst in every category into which it can be fitted." I just have to feel a little sorry for poor The Return of Jezebel James, though — sure, it didn't come close to expectations, but was it really worse than Secret Talents of the Stars?

Also, one show managed to make both the best and worst lists. To see what it was — and debate the best and worst — just read more.

The show that managed to claim a spot on both lists was American Idol, which ranked No. 20 best and tied for No. 9 worst.

Can you even compare the two of them? haha, thats funny. They're completly different shows.
Honestly, I like "the moment of truth" better...
(wait for people to throw things at her :))
but thats only because i've never watched one single episode of lost. Im sure that if I'd start watching it from season 1, i'd most likely love it. But I was too busy when it started airing and now it would be stupid to start watching it so late.

I have to say that it does seem odd that Jezebel and Cashmere Mafia would come out lower than some of the other awful things that have been on this year. I also tried hard to like both shows. You would have thought that a show by the creator of the Gilmore Girls (Jezebel) would have been better, but that show was just bad.

em113 — what's funny is that apparently Living Lohan came out the week the surveys went out, so even TV Week admitted that might have biased things a bit!
By the way, here's the list of critics who were surveyed.
